Adieu Firefox (for now)

The bug:

In Firefox when I click "Help" the selections are grey except for "Check website..."

The "fix":

Use Safari

What I'll miss:

searchontab
download status bar
the new tab button sitting next to the tabs instead of off to the far right

Let's see how this goes.

iPhone/AT&T vs Google Voice

Sure it'd be cool to have a google voice app on your iphone, but you know what, right now, you don't have one.

Whatever the reason may be, and they can give you any reason they want, you-still-don't-have-a-google-voice-app-on-the-iphone.

If you're so upset about it get a blackberry. Wow, you're not gonna? That's what I thought (see above about reasons).

A google voice app not being on the iphone is not news.

Quit your whining.

Who, what, when, where, and how

Ask yourself

who, what, when, where, and how

About everything

(how/what/when/who/where) are the answers

(what/who/where/how/when) are the answers' answers

and so on and so forth

do you like the answers

do you have answers

and so on and so forth

But here I am and here we go again

When it was so good
and so bad
and just so much
of everything
and there you were

Ingrid Michaelson - Sort Of
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2wv3q0POgdg

Baby you've got the sort of hands to rip me apart
And baby you've got the sort of face to start this old heart
But your eyes are warning me this early morning
That my love's too big for you my love

Baby you've got the sort of laugh that waters me
And makes me grow tall and strong and proud and flattens me
I find you stunning, but you are running me down
My love's too big for you my love
My love's too big for you my love

And if I was stronger then I would tell you no
And if I was stronger then I will leave this show
And if I was stronger then I would up and go
But here I am and here we go again

Baby you've got the sort of eyes that tell me tales
That your sort of mouth just will not say, the truth impales
That you don't need me, but you won't leave me
My love's too big for you my love
My love's too big for you my love

And if I was stronger then I would tell you no
And if I was stronger then I will leave this show
And if I was stronger then I would up and go
But here I am and here we go again

Tell me what to do to take away the you?

And if I was stronger then I would tell you no.
And if I was stronger then I will leave this show
And if I was stronger then I would up and go
But here I am and here we go again

THE REASON WHY

Vienna Teng reminded me of Rachael Yamagata and "The Reason Why" and how I burned-a-whole-through-that-cd on my, then, ipod and how every so often there'd be a song that I'd play over and over and over again.

Over and over again for the first hour, then two, then it'd pretty much be the only song I play all day. It'd be a song-of-that-particular-moment/feeling/mindset/mood and it'd be perfect.

"When You Say Nothing At All"

It's amazing
How you can speak
Right to my heart
Without saying a word,
You can light up the dark
Try as I may
I could never explain
What I hear when
You don't say a thing

The smile on your face
Lets me know
That you need me
There's a truth
In your eyes
Saying you'll never leave me
The touch of your hand says
You'll catch me
Whenever I fall
You say it best
When you say
Nothing at all

All day long
I can hear people
Talking out loud
But when you hold me near
You drown out the crowd
(The crowd)
Try as they may
They could never define
What's been said
Between your
Heart and mine

(You say it best
When you say
Nothing at all
You say it best
When you say
Nothing at all)

The smile on your face
The truth in your eyes
The touch of your hand
Let's me know
That you need me

(You say it best
When you say
Nothing at all
You say it best
When you say
Nothing at all)

The smile on your face
The truth in your eyes
The touch of your hand
Let's me know
That you need me

(You say it best
When you say
Nothing at all
You say it best
When you say
Nothing at all)

Falling Slowly

I don't know you
But I want you
All the more for that
Words fall through me
And always fool me
And I can't react
And games that never amount
To more than they're meant
Will play themselves out

Take this sinking boat and point it home
We've still got time
Raise your hopeful voice you have a choice
You'll make it now

Falling slowly, eyes that know me
And I can't go back
Moods that take me and erase me
And I'm painted black
You have suffered enough
And warred with yourself
It's time that you won

Take this sinking boat and point it home
We've still got time
Raise your hopeful voice you had a choice
You've made it now
Falling slowly sing your melody
I'll sing along

Changing

Changes as of late (late being a relative period of time).

Changes if status: marital(+)

Changes in state/status/person/personality: <>=+-(in no particular order)

I'm optimistic about these changes. In particular the way these changes feel; they feel positive.

And they will continue.

True Blood

Episode 1, Where:

Suki is psychic
Sam is a werewolf/were-dog
Vampire is the new black (hehe, see what I did there)

On the road

And you reread what you've just read, to see if you've missed
anything, and you turn that last page and turn again though the pages
are blank and you close it and place your palm over the cover and hold
it one last time before you put it away.

Dashboard Confessional - The Best Deception

I heard about your trip
I heard about your souvenirs
I heard about the cool breeze, in the cool nights, and the cool guys
That you spent them with
I guess I should have heard of them from you
I guess I should have heard of them from you

Don't you see, don't you see that the charade is over?
And all the "Best Deceptions" and the "Clever Cover Story" awards go to you
So kiss me hard 'cause this will be the last time that I'll let you
You will be back some day
And this awkward kiss that tells of other people's lips
Will be of service
To giving you away

I heard about your regrets
I heard that you were feeling sorry
I heard from someone that you wish you could set things right between us
Well, I guess I should have heard of that from you
I guess I should have heard of that from you

Well don't you see, don't you see that the charade is over?
And all the "Best Deceptions" and the "Clever Cover Story" awards go to you
So kiss me hard 'cause this will be the last time that I let you
You will be back someday
And this awkward kiss that screams of other people's lips
Will be of service to giving you away
To giving you away

I'm waiting for blood to flow to my fingers
I'll be all right when my hands get warm
Ignoring the phone, I'd rather say nothing
I'd rather you'd never heard my voice

You're calling too late, too late to be gracious
And you do not warrant long good-byes
You're calling too late
You're calling too late
You're calling too late

Oh what a difference a difference makes, maybe

This week we made use of the WoW paid re-customization option and customized two of our characters. Azoureus the Fire Mage is now Flareup the Ice Mage and Azureous the Holy Priest is now Elita the currently-still-Holy-but-we-might-change-that-t0-Shadow-if-I-don't-get-the-hang-of-playing-a-healer-Priest.

Since the re-customization Flareup has been part of a handful of instances where two levels were passed and three pieces of gear were upgraded. Coincidence? Maybe? But I'm not discounting the fact that she now has a cooler name and is now a girl.

The twilight of Twilight

I'm not sure I'm going to continue reading the Twilight series. It's fun, an easy read, and entertaining, but I feel like it's not going anywhere.

Unlike Harry Potter there isn't a Voldemort and after the first half of the book Bella and Edward are fully in love. The few conflicts they had were quickly brushed aside and/or easily overcome. So what's next?

I did though find the book entertaining enough, and I might be curious enough, to consider continuing the series, so we'll see.
